Actually, I think the two #bots were around for part of #GNUsocial after the #bifurcation split the network into #OStatus (mostly GS) and #Pump.io
-
It's important to keep in mind that GS survived the #bifurcation (when the largest instance #Identica switched to #Pump.io).

https://shitposter.club/objects/73ab2929-892e-43d0-834d-de7fbf2a16ad That's already happened at least twice. The first #bifurcation was when #Identi.ca became a pump instance, and the second was when Mastodon and Pleoma dropped OStatus support.
But I know he means maintaining different interpretations and extensions of the same protocol, not abandoning one protocol for another.

@tealturtle I knew of some people from West Africa (but none from Southern or Central Africa) years ago, before the #bifurcation.
.
I think they were #lost to the #corpocentric networks when Identica switched to #Pump.io and many #StatusNet instances closed.
-
I wouldn't say https://identi.ca/ is "dead", it just is not accepting new members and suffers frequent downtime. Without the #Pump.io firehose, it is difficult to tell how many active users are on the Pump network (though certainly a lot less than in the months after #bifurcation).
-
@aab @diogo @dalme @colegota @xrevan86 I agree. We survived network #bifurcation once, we can do it again.
-
I just thought of something: no one in the current #fediverse has seen me in person, though two people who were #lost in the #bifurcation (and Dr Jon Kulp, who left our network more recently) have seen me in person at least once.

To be fair, the !StatusNet network that Evan was running became unmanageable -- it cost too much to run, and I think Evan was funding most of it himself (although there were/are a number of paying #StatusNet customers). Evan developed #PumpIO to reduce the number of servers needed to run a federated network, and purposely kept the UI to a minimum to encourage federation. Sadly, that didn't work. Porting identi.ca from StatusNet to PumpIO was intended to introduce people to PumpIO as well as reduce Evan's costs. That partly worked; identi.ca is alive and well as a community, although much reduced from its glory days around 2013. But the #bifurcation did spawn a large number of new StatusNet / !GNUsocial instances, so that was a good thing too. But you're right in that PumpIO never gained widespread traction, the proof of which is in its lack of continued development. In that respect #GNUsocial and !OStatus are more successful than PumpIO
-
Oh no, I'll be sorry to see https://cybernude.org go away. Would you consider wiping it out and setting up a new instance at the same address? After the #bifurcation I found I couldn't restore my identi.ca dents to sn.jonkman.ca, but I found that participating in the !Fediverse was far more important than preserving old messages -- I haven't missed the old content at all.

Basically, you're saying #botulism is less dangerous than the past #bifurcation ?
